2009 KENWORTH T700 Recalls (2)
- Campaign:
- 10V535000 on 11/01/2010
- Component:
- Service brakes, air:disc:caliper
- Manufactured:
- 12/21/2008 - 08/01/2010
- Affected:
- 417
- Defect:
- Paccar is recalling certain model year kenworth t660, t700, t800 and w900 vehicles manufactured from december 22, 2008, through august 2, 2010, and equipped with ag400l air disc brakes. the air disc brake caliper could be installed on the wrong side of the drive axle potentially causing interference with the suspension bracket and the rear suspension as the outermost brake pads wear and the floating caliper moves inboard.
- Consequence:
- As this interference gets larger, this could eventually lead to reduced braking performance, increasing the risk of a crash.
- Correction:
- Dealers will verify the correct orientation of the brake caliper and perform the necessary repair free of charge. the safety recall began on november 24, 2010. owners may contact kenworth at 425-828-5440.
- Notes:
- Kenworth safety recall no. 10kwh.owners may also contact the national highway traffic safety administration's vehicle safety hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (tty 1-800-424-9153), or go to <a href=http://www.safercar.gov>http://www.safercar.gov</a> .
- Campaign:

- Component:
- Fuel system, other:storage:tank assembly
- Manufactured:
- 02/18/2007 - 02/22/2011
- Affected:
- 4,664
- Defect:
- Paccar is recalling certain model year 2008-2012 kenworth t2000, t660, t700, t800, and w900, as well as model year 2009-2012 peterbilt 365, 367, 384, 386, 387, 388, 389, and 587 trucks equipped with paccar mx engines. the oil module centrifugal spinner filter cap in the paccar mx engine may become loose, possibly allowing the cap to come off and engine oil to partially discharge from the oil module onto exhaust components.
- Consequence:
- The discharge of engine oil onto exhaust components which are hot, such as when the engine is under significant load, may cause a fire.
- Correction:
- Dealers will re-torque the oil module filter cap and install a secondary retention device on the secondary centrifugal spinner filter cap. this service will be performed free of charge. the safety recall is expected to begin during march 2011. owners may contact kenworth at 1-425-828-5440 and peterbilt at 1-940-591-4196.
